Cálculo y aplicaciones de las expresiones genéticas descontadas en programas de mejoramiento ovino en Argentina = Calculus and applications of discounted genetic expressions in sheep genetic improvement programs in Argentina
(Asociación Argentina de Producción Animal, 2022-03-05)Existe una demora hasta que los beneficios del mejoramiento genético se expresan a lo largo del ciclo de vida de los descendientes de los animales seleccionados. Para imputar los beneficios del mejoramiento genético ... -
Community-based sheep breeding programs generated substantial genetic gains and socioeconomic benefit
(Elsevier, 2020)Community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) for small ruminants have been suggested as alternatives to centralised, government-controlled breeding schemes which have been implemented in many developing countries. An innovative ... -
Converting multi-trait breeding objectives into operative selection indexes to ensure genetic gains in low-input sheep and goat breeding programmes
(Elsevier, 2021-05)Small ruminant breeding programmes in low-input production systems are best organised at the community level. Participant farmers have to agree on goal traits and their relative importance. When BLUP breeding values of ... -
Evaluación operativa de una metodología no destructiva para la determinación del módulo de elasticidad dinámico del Pino híbrido F1.
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales, Universidad Nacional de Misiones., 2019-10-17)Evaluation of parameters that define quality in breeding programs is fundamental in the decision-making. The use of non-destructive methodologies simplifies this issue. The acoustic tools are based on the recording of wave ... -
Genetic progress and economic benefit of community-based breeding programs for sheep out- and upscaling options in Ethiopia
(Elsevier, 2019-08)In this study, expected genetic progress and economic benefits from implementing three community-based breeding programs for sheep (CBBP) out- and upscaling strategies were investigated. Strategy 1 is to replicate average ... -
Guideline to define breeding objective functions, construct selection indexes and deal with uncertain sires in sheep and goat breeding programmes
(ICARDA, 2021-06)In three main chapters this guideline describes basic procedures to (1) define breeding objectives, (2) construct and evaluate selection indexes and (3) estimate breeding values in populations with uncertain sires. The ... -
How to succeed in implementing community-based breeding programs: Lessons from the field in Eastern and Southern Africa
(Frontiers Media, 2023-03)Breeding programs involving either centralized nucleus schemes and/or importation of exotic germplasm for crossbreeding were not successful and sustainable in most Africa countries. Community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) ... -
Phenotypic and genetic characterization of Africanized Apis mellifera colonies with natural tolerance to Varroa destructor and contrasting defensive behavior
(Frontiers Media, 2023-08-31)Africanized Apis mellifera colonies with promising characteristics for beekeeping have been detected in northern Argentina (subtropical climate) and are considered of interest for breeding programs. Integral evaluation of ... -
Three easy fixes for sire use can enhance genetic progress in community-based breeding programmes
(Wiley, 2021)We analysed options to optimize the use of sires in sheep and goat community-based breeding programmes (CBBP) for three scenarios occurring under field conditions: premature sale of selection candidates, fixed service ...
